1 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Bald Eagle - Mintage: 7,500 (2014)

Avoid disappointment, order this beautiful coin today!

When it comes to hunting, the bald eagle's most important assets are its eyes, its talons and its exceptional diving speed. Eagle vision is about six times stronger than that of humans. In addition, transparent nictitating membranes on their eyes allow eagles to “blink” without losing sight of prey for even a moment. The eagle's claws are its key tool for hunting, nest building and more. Composed of three front toes and one back toe, all tipped with long keratinous talons, its claws are connected to tendons in the eagle's legs and feet that allow it to clamp down on captured prey with crushing force. Once the hunter has spotted the day's catch, it will dive at speeds in excess of 120 kilometres per hour, snatching its prey from the water or ground with lightning speed. The eagle later uses a claw to hold its catch while tearing at it with its sharp curved beak to eat.

I collect proof, uncirculated, graded and bullion precious metal coins, rounds and bars. I purchase from Government mints and reputable bullion dealers only. Canadian Mint products are excellent quality. Service is not so good. Tracking information was incorrect and shipment took longer than it should have.

love the high quality of the canadian mint coins and the bigvariety of animal motives.when do we get rid of that ugly motive of that old British queen onthe backside and show some pride with our own Canadian motiveas independant country ?

The pictures of this coin do not do it justice. It is a very beautiful coin, with detailed feathers, and even the fish in its talons. The matte finish against the mirror bright background is a winner. Limited mintage, beautiful coin, reasonable price=what more could one ask for?
